yeah i can't stop thinking about the toilet... it just seems like there is definitely something wrong with how they are designed, and it may not be solely water efficiency related. first, of course, there is of course the NON PEE FLUSHING BY ACTIVISTS AND EDGY HAIRYTARIANS. neither looking at pee in the toilet, nor using hundreds of extra gallons of water is a great idea, so that makes problemo numero uno. also, there is kind of a cleanliness issue for men. as a guy, living with guys, there is pee that makes is SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE the toilet bowl more often than i would like to admit. blame it on booze or sleepiness, but nobody wants to clean the toilet every few days, abd this ought to be avoidable. (and i cant imagine it gets any easier as you get older) now i know an easy solution many have suggested already:
but really, with sustainable design, the goal (at least for some of us) is to only force behavioral changed where necessary. standing up to pee is NOT the problem, the design of the toilets is. (i would add, transversely, that using massive amounts of toilet paper after peeing also seems like a waste, but the necessity of THAT is unfortunately something i don't have the experience to argue)
the toilets we are used to are the convention in most industrialized nations. i wonder if its really the best, or just what we have?
ever have one of those funny tablets in the tank that makes the water come out blue, and then peed in it? what's the color it ends up again? oh yeah, aquamarine.
